On October 2, FamilyMart announced its plan to convert the eat-in spaces at 2,000 stores into sales areas by the end of the current fiscal year. The company observed that the use of some eat-in spaces has changed post-COVID and aims to boost daily sales by repurposing these areas.
Since August, several hundred stores have already implemented this change, removing tables and chairs and adding two to three shelves to display around 100-150 additional items, including clothing, toilet paper, and detergents. In particular, urban stores with limited space had difficulty accommodating these categories, so this initiative will enhance product selection. FamilyMart aims to increase daily sales at these stores by 5-7% within three years.
Of FamilyMart’s approximately 16,000 domestic stores, around 7,000 currently have eat-in spaces. The company plans to refurbish 2,000 of these locations by the end of the fiscal year and will evaluate the results before considering further expansion.
